Touted as the “Holy Grail” of Japanese card collecting this circa 1953 prize display sheet produced by Yamakatsu measures 21"x29" and contains 30 photographic collector cards affixed to it including nine of the top American players of the day; Mantle Fox Berra Roberts Lemon Simmons Reese Lopat and Mathews. Berra and Lopat are large 7"x10" cards. Mathews Roberts and Fox are 3 1/2"x5 1/4" with others smaller. The sheet also contains rookie cards of Hawaiian players-Kashiwaeda and Yogi plus a rookie of Fresno sensation Zenimura. 10 Japanese HOFers are also included; Nakanishi Bessho Fujimura Fujimoto Iida Yoshida Oshita Aramaki Betto and Kozuru. Although the edges of the display sheet are a bit frayed nearly all cards including Mantle are NM-MT as issued. The photo for the Mantle card was taken in 1951 as he is seen wearing '#6 rather than his legendary #7.
